Still time to audition for epic folktale set on Dartmoor
Chagford Filmmaking Group is holding auditions for its next film, and there’s still time to put your name forward.
Hot on the heels of their inter-continental movie, Sir Lanval, the Chagford Filmmaking Group is embarking on its new flick, The Ballad of Mary Whyddon.
It’s set in Devon set during the Civil War, and their shoots are renowned as happy affairs.
“We hear so many horror stories from actors about cattle market auditions, so we try to make the whole process as welcoming as possible,” said director, Elizabeth-Jane Baldry.
